How does physical abuse impact relationships?
Same team.
I'll just give some backstory. Me and my husband met in 2023 in February. Um, we got married in November. We found out we were having a baby in December. So fast forward, our son is now seven months old and, um, It's been really rocky. Um, we had an argument Friday and it escalated and there was some physical, um, abuse, I guess you would say. Um, he was charged with, um, aggravated assault against me and is now in jail. And I'm, I'm torn between like leaving or staying. Like I feel guilty. I feel like I'm kind of ruining his life. Um, So I don't really know where to go or what to do.
I'm sorry.
Thank you.
That's not how this is supposed to go.
No.
So let me make sure. I'm going to read back to you what I got in my mind to make sure I'm hearing you right, okay? Okay. You met this guy a couple years ago. Y'all fell in love pretty hard, pretty fast. How old are you? we're about 25 okay so still kind of young but you're going for it y'all got married and then i guess y'all you got pregnant on your honeymoon and yeah then um you have a seven month old and since you've been married your husband's i didn't get the game he's playing too much playing video games all the time tell me more about that yeah it was so he struggled really hard like when
I first had my son, so he'd become really distant to the point where he would pull all-nighters playing a video game. He would go to work on no sleep.
What are the signs of a toxic marriage?
Did he just ignore you guys? No helping with the bottles, no helping with the diapers, bedtimes, nothing?
Yeah. My son was nearly three months old, and he hadn't even washed a bottle yet. He would wash them, but he would lay them in the bathroom beside him and put his... headphones on and just kind of listen for him to cry oh god so did he do this before the baby was born or while you were pregnant he he played games um he's played games the whole time I've known him but it wasn't to this extent okay so it just kind of got worse so tell me what happened the night it escalated so earlier that night um he wanted to have sex and uh And so we kind of got arguing about that. And then he went to play his game.
How did the argument go?
It was like... He was... I was, we were actually laying down to watch a movie and I was falling asleep and he was like trying to wake me up to have sex. And I told, I got aggravated. I told him like, I'm trying to fall asleep. Like I've been working, like I want to get some rest. And he's like, you know, well, you told me like I could wake you up sometime and be spontaneous.
